CEO’S REVIEW2018 was a challenging year for Loudspring. As you will be able to read from this report, while several portfolio companies developedpositively, progress was overshadowed by the bankruptcy of our portfolio company Nocart. Due to this event, management has been forced tocurb some development plans.

We regret the confusion and harm that Nocart’s bankruptcy – and related publicity – caused to our shareholders and other stakeholders. Wework to continuously improve our processes and have increased oversight of individual minority-owned portfolio companies.

Loudspring’s core focus has always been to develop and own a diversified business portfolio. While Nocart’s failure was a major setback, andsome portfolio companies did not achieve growth, many portfolio companies have continued to develop positively during the period.

Eagle Filters’ revenue remained flat in 2018, which is a clear disappointment. However, in the latter half of 2018 there were positive signs ofour investments into Eagle Filters starting to bear fruit. If not for delays in a few orders, the year’s revenue could have looked better. Customerfilter changes follow maintenance cycles, and during the period Eagle Filters continued a major push for achieving growth in the future.

Nuuka Solutions signed large customers both in Europe and in the United States, 2018 revenues grew by 153% compared to 2017. We arepleased with this development, as high-profile customers including the City of Helsinki, and ICA Real Estate in Sweden provide excellentreferences for further international growth. Real estate is a conservative sector and sales cycles are therefore relatively long. During theperiod, Nuuka started discussions with several major real estate portfolio owners and we await to see development with these.

ResQ Club has continued its strong growth as it crossed 1.4 M portions sold. Operationally, the company focused on profitability and long-termgrowth. 2018 revenues grew by 107% compared to 2017. We are very pleased with ResQ’s development and achievements during the period.There are other companies active in this space in Europe. From our perspective ResQ, being nearly cash flow positive, stands out andprovides a solid platform for future business development. During the period ResQ has made progress with its geographic expansion plansand is constantly improving its product to achieve competitive advantage with new features.

During the period Sofi Filtration started to redeem its promise. 2018 revenues grew by 132% compared to 2017. We are very happy with thisresult and the fact that the company is increasingly focusing on a few specific customer segments: energy, marine, as well as microplasticsfiltration, all of which provide significant growth opportunities with a standardized product needs.

In the United States, Swap.com shifted focus towards achieving profitability and efficiency. Unfortunately, revenues decreased by 26% andsince the company has not developed as we had expected, Loudspring decided to impair the EUR 1,22 million revaluation reserve forSwap.com. While negative growth is a disappointment, we are supportive of the company’s new, seasoned, US-based CEO Jennifer Carr-Smithas well as the new business model with focus on margin improvement. Additionally, the company rolled out improvements in internal processesand software developments.

Enersize, as it is listed on First North Stockholm reports separately. Enersize’s share price decreased during the period.

I started as the CEO of Loudspring in May 2018. Since that time we have had a whole new management team in place.

We have brought up to speed an external, independent party to evaluate how we could improve our processes in information gathering andcommunications, especially with respect to understanding and informing on the operations and risks associated with our minority-ownedportfolio companies. We have made changes to this report with an aim to give readers information through a relevant framework. As well as toform a comprehensive picture of how Loudspring businesses are performing. Not necessarily to communicate more, but rather in fewer wordscommunicate the most important, relevant key developments transparently. We also started working with Inderes, which has been providingcoverage of Loudspring. During the period, Loudspring for the first time, provided financial targets for Eagle Filters and Nuuka Solutions.

I hope these actions will serve shareholders and investors, however, more needs to be done. We have begun initiatives to improve further andlook forward to listening to our shareholders’ needs and servicing those needs. At the same time, individual portfolio companies are highlysensitive when it comes to releasing competitor sensitive information resulting in a delicate balance we are actively managing.

Our negative result consists of our operative cost, as well as write-offs that are non-cash items. Our operating philosophy is not to give up onour portfolio companies but to instead lean into our portfolio and actively help companies when they are facing challenges. This is why weassisted Nocart during 2018. Nocart related costs accounted for most of the increased operational costs in 2018. It is also worth pointing outthat as per Loudspring’s operating model a major part of our team’s time is spent performing tasks for core portfolio companies, whichtranslates into increased value of our portfolio. Costs that would otherwise be incurred at the portfolio company level, if we did not step in.

While our main focus is to increase shareholder value, we have also taken major steps to reduce our burn rate. Going forward, we havereduced our own costs as well as started to gradually charge portfolio companies for services we perform for them. These actions havedecreased our monthly continuous operational burn rate after the reporting period.

decreased our monthly continuous operational burn rate after the reporting period.

Loudspring has been on its mission to preserve the planet’s ecosystems for over 13 years. During difficult times, Loudspring has alwaysevaluated its practices and strategies in order to come out better than before. We are doers, passionate about our work, and one of our keystrengths as a team is not giving up when there are challenges. This has been the Loudspring way, and will continue to be so. We can notguarantee success, but our business portfolio consist of a few high potential companies that have already started a nice growth trajectory andthe next few years will show if they will be able to fulfill their high potential.

LOUDSPRING EFFECTIVE FULLY DILUTED OWNERSHIPS 31.12.2018Below is Loudspring’s effective fully diluted ownership 31.12.2018.

*Loudspring owned effectively 1% additional Swap.com shares at the end of the review period which have been purchased from Loudspringafter the review period. **During the review period Loudspring has sold its directly owned shares in Watty and currently only holds indirect ownership in the companythrough a holding company.

Eagle Filters was Loudspring’s only subsidiary at the end of the review period. Ownership is reported as effective fully diluted except forEnersize, where effective ownership is reported due to Enersize being a listed company. Effective ownership takes into account both direct andindirect ownership in the portfolio firms. Loudspring has indirect ownership through the Clean Future Fund (CFF), a Finnish limited partnershipand several Cleantech Invest SPVs, all of them Swedish holding companies founded by Loudspring. Exit and dividend proceeds from portfoliocompanies may differ from ownership percentages, both in positive or negative direction, due to different share classes and provisions inshareholder agreements.

MAJOR EVENTSThe comments on associated companies are not full descriptions of each of the associated companies’ situations or their risks. Risks aredescribed in more detail in the Risks and Uncertainties section.

OVERALL DEVELOPMENT2018 for Loudspring was overshadowed by the bankruptcy of Nocart. This unfortunate event and related negative media created a difficultoperating environment for Loudspring. At the same time, many of the core portfolio companies developed well during 2018, and our focus isnow fully on supporting these firms on their growth journeys.

During 2018, Eagle Filters’ revenue remained on the same level as 2017. During H2 2018 the company strengthened its financial resourcesand team significantly. Loudspring’s 2020 targets for Eagle Filters remain the same.

Three core holdings; Nuuka Solutions, ResQ Club and Sofi Filtration made very good progress during the year and their revenues grewsignificantly.

Swap.com significantly reduced costs and streamlined its operations, which has resulted in reduced revenue but a much healthier business.Enersize stock price declined during the period.

During 2018 Loudspring signed an agreement with Nordea to increase its limit for debt facilities to EUR 2,5 million. The debt facilities consist ofa limit and a long-term debt. In addition, Loudspring signed a convertible loan agreement with NEFCO for EUR 2,5 million funding. During theperiod Loudspring also appointed Erik Penser Bank as its new Certtified Advisor.

Loudspring has refined its strategy and will target to acquire more external equity funding for its core portfolio firms. We are hence also moreopen to dilution where we see this leads to better returns on absolute terms. This does not, however, prevent us from considering majorityownership in selected targets, through investments and share swaps. The shift in financing strategy is due to Loudspring’s market valuationdecreasing significantly. At the same time, private market valuations for good growth companies are attractive. From shareholder valueperspective it has, in several cases, become more attractive to dilute on the portfolio company level as opposed to Loudspring level, whenadditional funding is needed. During H2 2018 our ownership in Nuuka decreased slightly and Nuuka is now a minority-owned portfoliocompany.

At the end of the review period Loudspring had the following financing arrangements and balance sheet items:

Cash EUR 76 thousand

EUR 950 thousand untapped credit limit from Nordea, effective until 15.9.2019, expected to be renewed

An agreement made with NEFCO in November 2018 for a EUR 2,5 million convertible loan, completely untapped 31.12.2018. Thisconvertible loan can be used to finance the operations of portfolio companies. Received proceeds may be used freely.

The company owned listed shares (Enersize Oyj) with a fair value 31.12.2018 of EUR 2,29 million. The shares have been given ascollateral for the loans of EUR 1.5 million in Loudspring’s balance sheet and for the EUR 950 thousand credit line. The consent of thecollateral holder is required for the selling of these shares.

In addition, the company has after the review period received payments for a EUR 400 thousand loan receivable and the selling of portfoliocompany shares for EUR 250 thousand.

Revenue development for Loudspring's core holdings 2013 - 2018 (estimated), excluding Enersize

The estimated (non-audited) combined revenue of Loudspring core holdings (excluding Enersize) was EUR 14,98 million in 2018 (EUR 17,19million in 2017).

EAGLE FILTERSEagle Filters provides advanced air filtration solutions for energy utilities, which increases the efficiency of gas turbines. The technologysignificantly reduces CO2 emissions and increases profitability. Eagle’s technology is being used by some of the world’s largest energy utilities.Loudspring has an option to increase its ownership in Eagle to 80%.

Business Update

Eagle Filters’ revenue 2018 was EUR 1,9 million (unaudited estimate). Revenue stayed on the same level as the previous year. The keyreason for this is resourcing: new sales team members have not been fully trained and operational until Q4 2018. The stagnant revenuedevelopment was also partly due to some larger turbine maintenance schedules pushed to 2019. In addition, as a result of poor performance,some agent agreements have been terminated by Eagle and new agent agreements have been negotiated and signed. After the reviewperiod, Eagle’s business has developed well and at the time of reporting Eagle had signed orders of appx. EUR 1,25 million for 2019.

Eagle Filters Inc started operational activities in the USA in late 2018. During H2 2018 the company has strengthened its financial resourcesand team significantly.

Key opportunities include:

High profile references create a good opportunity for global growth and

Investment pay-back time is exceptionally short improving customers’ fleet value significantly

Key risks include (but are not limited to):

Competition is intensifying

Increasing sales efforts coupled with long lead times increases capital requirements

Targets for 2021

Loudspring has set the following financial targets for 2021 for Eagle Filters, replacing earlier targets:

2021 Revenue: more than EUR 10 million

2021 EBITDA: more than EUR 2 million

Previously given targets were the same but for year 2020. We have pushed the targeted growth one year further due to slow 2018 revenuedevelopment.

These targets are Loudspring group level targets and are more conservative than the subsidiary company’s internal targets. The targets arenot financial guidance and will only be in general updated on an annual or semi-annual basis. Deviation from these targets will not trigger apositive or negative profit warning.

NUUKA SOLUTIONS

Nuuka Solutions provides a cloud-based software for professional building analytics.

Nuuka connects building intelligence systems into one common platform, enabling greatly improved energy efficiency and indoor air quality, aswell as streamlined operations and reporting. Customers include large building asset managers, multinational corporations and cities.

Business Update

Nuuka grew its revenues by 153% during 2018 to EUR 1,09 million. Revenues consist of Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) and projectrevenues. Nuuka’s MRR order intake number was at the end of year 86 500 € / month. This is the anticipated billing from current signedcontracts after the projects have been fully installed. The recurring revenue grows gradually as buildings are connected to Nuuka over aperiod of several months or years in some cases. This number is also highly dependent on a small number of potential customer contracts andduring Q4 no major deals were signed.

Nuuka’s most significant deals during 2018 were a deal with the ICA Real Estate in Sweden and a deal with the City of Helsinki. At the end of2018, appx 2500 buildings were connected to the Nuuka cloud. Nuuka has also proceeded with the pilot in the USA for an international workplace operator and is also negotiating a wider roll-out which currently is not certain.

Interest in Nuuka’s product offering has remained strong. At the same time, competition is increasing, with several players entering the smartbuilding market. Nuuka’s main competitive edges are the ability to deliver the complete platform solution for large portfolios management,being hardware manufacturer agnostic, and having excellent integration solutions to other cloud solutions and a long experience of real estatebusiness.

At the end of 2018, Nuuka was no longer a subsidiary of Loudspring, as the ownership fell slightly below 50%. Nuuka established a fully ownedsubsidiary Nuuka AB in Sweden in late 2018.
